If You Had $1,000 to Drop at TokTok Beauty... What Should You Actually Buy?

u/urtoktokbestie | 8 min read | Shopping Cart Confessions 💅

Let’s set the scene:

I was doom scrolling while waiting for my Biodance collagen mask to dry down (as one does), when my brain said:

“What if I dropped $1,000 at TokTokBeauty.com… right now?”

No overthinking. No price filters. Just good skin and better decisions (for once).

Not a TikTok trending list. Not a “bestsellers you’ll never finish” roundup.

I mean the real stuff—products that work, make you feel cute, and earn their place on your shelf.

If you’ve ever paused a Jooshica GRWM to zoom in on her lineup, or used a tracking number to regulate your mood... welcome. You’re home.

Let’s build the dreamiest cart ever. 🛒

SKINCARE THAT DOESN’T JUST SIT THERE AND LOOK CUTE

Not just shelfie material. This lineup actually shows up, clocks in, and gets to work. Whether you're dry, stressed, or just pretending to drink water—these formulas understood the assignment. 🧴✨

Mixsoon Soybean Milk Serum – $25

The viral soybean pads, but make it serum. Lightweight, fermented, and gives you that “inner peace + 8 hours of sleep” glow. Even babies can use it.

Use this if you want skin that looks like you don’t overanalyze every conversation you’ve ever had.

S.NATURE Aqua Squalane Moisturizing Cream – $23

150,000ppm squalane = hydration on intermediate mode. Controls oil, blurs pores, layers under anything.

Your fave idol's MUA uses it. But go off with your Cetaphil, I guess. 😌    

 

Anua Rice Enzyme Brightening Cleansing Powder – $20

Turns from powder to bouncy foam, gently exfoliates, and leaves your skin like velvet. Bonus: super fun to play with.

I don’t need therapy—I need this cleanser and a moment by myself. 

PHYSIOGEL Daily Moisture Therapy Facial Cream – $18

The Illiyoon alt. 72hr hydration, no drama, and surprisingly chic in that “IDGAF about packaging” way.

Team Physiogel because the Korean IT Girls are still gatekeeping this one rn.

Abib Collagen Eye Patch Jericho Rose Jelly – $19

Hydrates, firms, and makes you feel like you journal in cursive.

Hot girls do eye patches. I don't make the rules here (i absolutely do).

PURITO Wonder Releaf Centella Serum Unscented – $21

Fragrance-free. Unproblematic. Calms the chaos on your face and in your life.

She’s not flashy. She’s not messy. She just works. Like a Capricorn in serum form.

Dr.G R.E.D Blemish Clear Soothing Cream – $32

Centella-powered fix for irritation, breakouts, and life spirals.

Keep it in the skincare toolbox. You’ll thank yourself mid-crashout.

Round Lab Camellia Deep Collagen Firming Gel Mask – $5

Hydrates and firms in under 30 mins. No sliding. No overnight stress.

Perfect if you sleep like you're fighting for your life. 💀

 

MAKEUP THATS ACTUALLY BUILT LIKE K-BEAUTY

No 20-step contour war here. These picks are cute, functional, and very main character-coded. 💫

🎀 Parasocial Moment: Picture this—you're at Jenniechella, what's in your GRWM kit?

CLIO Essential Lipcheek Tap – $19

Velvety color for cheeks and lips. Foolproof blend and soft-girl coded.

Jooshica said it’s raw. Next question.

A pink for every mood and identity crisis. Lasts all day. Feels like nothing.

This product comes in 10 shades of pink? Mind your business.

espoir The Brow Color Fixing Cara – $17

Tint, sculpt, and forget. Fluffy brows without muppet energy.

If your brows aren’t 2 shades lighter… are you even soft girl?

fillimilli Eye Brush Pro Collection – $25

They do the work so you don’t have to. Precision + softness = power.

The brush set that supports your delusion of becoming a kbeauty influencer.

FLORTTE Glue-Free False Eyelash – $14.99

Stick-on lashes. No glue. No crust. Just vibes.

You’re still gluing your lashes? Bestie please be fr.

UNLEASHIA Shaper Pomade Eyebrow Fixer – $9.99

Refy dupe? Allegedly. All-day hold? Confirmed.

She shapes, tints, and shuts down brow drama.

Too Cool For School Artclass Frottage Pencil – $9.99

One pencil. Aegyosal, highlight, blush. Creamy and chaotic.

Not faking eye bags? Unfollowed.

Judydoll 3D Curling Eyelash Iron Mascara – $9.99

Lashes that curl and hold like they’ve got goals.

Think “military precision,” but pretty.

The Saem Cover Perfection Tip Concealer – $9.99

Covers everything: blemishes, exes, emotional damage.

Honestly? Just cancel your cushion. You won’t need it.

HAIR & BODY — BECAUSE YOUR FACE CAN’T DO IT ALL

Your skincare routine is doing amazing, sweetie—but your scalp, bangs, and ends have entered the chat. From slick sticks to root serums, this section is for everything above & below the jawline that still deserve top-tier treatment. 🧴✨

&honey Matomake Stick 4.0 – $17.99

Slick flyaways and baby hairs in literal seconds. Rose honey scent = bonus.

If your bangs don’t stick… they don’t hit.

AROMATICA Rosemary Root Enhancer – $15.99

Scalp health = clear skin. Don’t let your forehead keep snitching on you.

Self-care starts at the roots, babe.

💭 Real Talk: When’s the last time you treated your scalp like your face?

Mise En Scene Perfect Repair Serum – $14.99

Glossy, smooth ends that smell like a drama lead's perfume.

You wanna smell like a main character? Stop it. Yes, you do.

Milk Touch Slim Face Ceramic Gua Sha – $39

Because Gua sha is all the hype rn.

Looksmaxxing is even infecting the kbeauty industry. This will fit perfectly next to your toner and delusions of facial symmetry.

Fiancee Body Mist in White Tea – $22

This will legitimately make you smell like Barbie. It doesn’t just smell like a Barbie—it smells like the Barbie. The soft one. The pretty one. The one who always got picked first.

White Tea unlocked a core memory I didn’t know I had. I’m not saying I’d commit a crime to keep this in stock… but I’m not not saying it either. TokTok team, be serious. Restock her. I’m begging.

🛒 CART TOTAL: $478.92

Yes, I did the math. Yes, I double-checked. And yes… we are nowhere near $1,000. (honestly it's pretty difficult and no one should spend this much unless you have the audacity)

Final Thoughts

Which means this is officially Part 1 of what is rapidly becoming a multi-part shopping guide saga.

Stay tuned for Part 2: The Revenge of the Wishlist.
Or maybe: $1,000 Wasn’t Enough and I Regret Nothing.

Do I need to go harder? Yes.
Am I scared of what Part 2 will unlock in me? Also yes.

Either way, we’re not done here. 😌

If you’ve been cart-hoarding for weeks like a little raccoon… this is your green light.

Drop your favorite underhyped recs. Show me your swaps. Or trauma dump your abandoned wish lists in the comments so I can pretend this was a community effort —I’ll read them all.
